St. Paul daily globe., 1887-04-24

The man who would mistake Charles NJ
Palmer for dude would be badly mis-
taken. It's true nature has been kind to
him and given him the form of an Antln-
Gus, with ripping golden hair and
a,u, complexion in which roses and
lilies vie; it is also true he wears good
clothes and parts his hair within one
point of the middle; but those bangs
shade wide forehead which is the home of
a busy enterpriSing brain and a rich fund of
natural huInor Palmer grew up on Wis
consin soil, but never flourished until trans
planted to Minnesota and fed with an
abundance OF Minneapolis ozone. At that
time little paper, run principally in the
interest of certain lot of milling machin-'
cry. made a weekly land weakly
appearance, and was known as the
Northwestern Miller. He conceived
the idea of turning it into a representative
trade paper and gave the idea birth. He
purchased the good will and got the plant
thrown in, and by infusing talent and bus-
ness energy into the concern, the present
lucrative paper blossomed out. Since then
he has worn good clothes, taken European
| trip and enjoyed life generally. Last year
he was elected director of the Exposition
and as chairman of the committee on print
ing and advertising displayed qualities
which led the GLOBE to suggest that in him
would be found good successor to General
Manager Hibbard. The seed thus sown fell
| into good ground, and when the process OF
| time brought about an election. the honor
| fell tn him. The steps he has alread,
| taken are sufficient to vIndicate the GLOBE;
| good opinion of him. and when the big shoi
| opens, the visiting public will welcome will
| pleasure the change from the Surly self
| snf1iciency of Hibbard, to the cheerful,
| pleasant and urbane suavity of handsome
Palmer. Seeif it doesn't.

Charley Harr is says his full time is occu-

| Something like million Scandinavians are

r. o. Foster is one of the incorporators OF
